when all else fails, grab your board 
don't get overwhelmed, skate and destroy 
all other issues can be ignored 
when life's at a halt, skate and annoy! 
i need a vacation from the stress 
cause lately i've been a wreck 
life wins and you die 
as long as i'm still breathing i will defy 

too much to do, too little time 
searching but not finding, something to call mine 
but each time i drop in, like a breath of fresh air 
i gotta confess it's a love affair! 

like an addict i get my jones 
to rotate some wheels and break my bones 
i get the urge and i gotta thrash 
fiending for coping that i can slash 
flying down the sidewalk, rolling on the street 
freshly paved asphalt or smooth concrete 
don't need none, my board can be my wife 
keep rolling forever, don't be downtrodden by life 

too much to do, too little time 
searching but not finding, something to call mine 
but each time i drop in, like a breath of fresh air 
i gotta confess it's a love affair! 

it's... a love affair! 

there's no way else to say it and i'm sure 
to seek out the abstract and obscure 
each day a new adventure you can't compare 
in my love affair
